I’m a cyber security graduate building hands-on capability through vulnerability identification, API security testing, and OWASP Top 10 risk validation.

In my recent Quality Assurance Engineer role, I identified high-severity CVE vulnerabilities in production systems, validated payment workflows against OWASP Top 10 and PCI DSS requirements, and uncovered broken access control and authentication edge cases across iOS, Android, and web apps. I also tested backend APIs with Postman to expose authorization flaws and sensitive data exposure issues, and I logged and triaged 300+ defects end-to-end in JIRA.

Earlier, as a Cyber Security Engineer, I executed 100+ manual and automated test cases across SaaS web and mobile platforms and performed API functional, security, stress, and load testing using JMeter to evaluate API resilience. I’m especially motivated by practical security work—home SOC labs, log analysis, and attack simulation—and I build projects like a Breach and Attack Simulation Platform that integrates the MITRE Caldera API and supports adversary-profile agent deployment.
